WAVES X-FDBK - Intelligent Feedback Suppressor | Say Goodbye to Piercing Howls, the Ultimate Savior for Live Setups

For every audience member, performer, and live sound engineer, audio feedback is undoubtedly the most dreaded nightmare. That sharp, piercing howl not only instantly ruins the performance atmosphere but can also cause discomfort to the audience's hearing. Now, with Waves X-FDBK, you can completely say goodbye to this problem. This plugin precisely identifies the specific frequencies causing feedback and filters them out with surgical precision, significantly shortening the setup time for monitor speakers and PA systems, making your workflow more efficient and smooth.

X-FDBK is designed to be a powerful, automatic, and "set-and-forget" solution. It helps you quickly and accurately complete the "ringing out" process for your PA system. The plugin automatically detects and locks onto the frequency points most prone to feedback, generating extremely narrow notch filters to eliminate them. This means you no longer need to spend a lot of time manually searching for problem frequencies, allowing you to focus more on mixing and the performance itself, providing the most stable audio foundation for every live sound task. Whether it's a large concert, a corporate meeting, or a church worship service, X-FDBK is your indispensable professional feedback suppression tool, ensuring your audio quality remains clear and pure.

Key Advantages & Use Cases

Ultra-Fast Setup, Save Precious Time
The traditional "ringing out" process is both time-consuming and tedious. X-FDBK simplifies it all. Its intelligent algorithm automates the entire feedback frequency detection and elimination process, reducing what could take tens of minutes of prep work to just a few minutes or even less, allowing you to operate with ease in time-critical live environments.

Surgical-Precision Frequency Cutting
Unlike traditional graphic EQs that cut wide frequency bands, X-FDBK uses extremely narrow notch filters. It only attenuates the single frequency points actually causing feedback, preserving the original audio's tone and clarity to the maximum extent and avoiding the sound quality loss caused by excessive EQ adjustments.

Automated Intelligent Detection & Processing
X-FDBK is a true "set-it-and-forget-it" tool. Simply place it on your track, and it will continuously monitor the audio, taking immediate action once it detects any sign of feedback. This fully automated workflow allows even less experienced sound engineers to easily manage complex live environments.

Suitable for Any Live Sound Reinforcement Environment
Whether you are dealing with on-stage monitor wedges or the main PA system facing the audience, X-FDBK is perfectly suited for the job. It is ideal for concerts, lectures, theatrical performances, corporate events, and any occasion requiring sound reinforcement, making it an invaluable assistant for every live sound engineer.
